THE DIVINE PLAYBOOK IS OPEN - GLOBAL PROPHETIC WORD 8.18.24
A week ago, I had a profound dream—one of the many audible dreams I often have. In this dream, I heard a phrase: "I'm opening the divine playbook!"
We know what a playbook is in sports—a strategy book where a team devises particular moves and strategies to counteract the other team and figure out how to get the ball. I believe this speaks to what is happening globally right now. We can see the enemy's play overtly and obviously, but what about God's playbook?
We are in a moment where the divine playbook is opened up. In Psalm 2, you see an interesting dialogue of actions and plays.
Let's look at verses 1-6:
Act I – The Nations Speak
- How dare the nations plan a rebellion.
their foolish plots are futile!
- Look at how the power brokers of the world
Rise up to hold their summit
- As the ruler's scheme and confer together
against Yahweh and His Anointed King, saying: "Let's come together and break away from the Creator. Once and for all let's cast off these controlling chains of God and His Christ!"
Act II – God Speaks
- God-Enthroned merely laughs at them;
the Sovereign One mocks their madness!
- Then, with the fierceness of His fiery anger,
He settles the issue and terrifies them to death with these words:
- "I myself have poured out My King on Zion, My holy mountain."
Can you see the two playbooks in action? For years, we have seen the enemy's plays in the news, media, church, and every facet of society.
We see the antichrist agenda that is working against America, using elites and people in power who feel they have the upper hand, even acting like gods.
There's been a direct move against Christianity in the last 60 years, where we've seen the Ten Commandments removed from schools, and demonic narratives and ideologies have spread throughout schools, culture, family life, and issues of gender.
It's preached loudly and has even caused the church to feel inadequate and powerless, but we are about to see the divine playbook open up on a global scale!
We know that at the end of the playbook, God wins. From now until that final victory when Jesus returns, we're going to see this divine playbook open up in supernatural ways.
FROM DIVINE OPPOSITION TO DIVINE OPPORTUNITY
As I was reflecting on the playbook dream, I heard, "As I open up the scroll, you will move from divine opposition to divine opportunity!"
In 2020, we saw the global rise of the epoch of divine opposition. While God was not the author of it—this was the enemy's playbook in full display—God allowed the church to face these challenges because we had become comfortable, compromised, and lost our fire.
Now, we are transitioning from divine opposition into divine opportunity. The church is awakening and realizing that action is required—there needs to be a pushback, a fight. In this hour of deep desperation, the church is no longer clinging to its comforts or its safety.
The church's ears are now open to hear the true word of the Lord, whereas they were closed in 2020.
You would think that a pandemic would have driven the church to the feet of Jesus, but instead, it drove much of the church deeper into the swirl of culture. So, God needed to allow the church to be shaken so that who she really was could come forth.
That's why we've seen shakings, empires falling, and people being exposed—because God has used this season of divine opposition to reposition the church.
He has taken the keys and authority in regions from leaders who have not stewarded them well and has given them to those with a heart like David. We have started the shift from a Saul kingdom to a David kingdom.
God is restoring the fallen altar of the church so that we can actually be the church that shines amidst all the demonic propaganda trying to steal our nation, our kids, and our families. That is what God is doing right now as we enter this season of divine opportunity.
It's easy to look at what's happening in the world—the financial system crashing, looming famine, the potential for another pandemic—and begin to prophesy through fear, but that hasn't served us well in the past.
We need to be like the sons of Issachar, who not only understood the times but also knew what to do with that knowledge.
"Of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command" (1 Chronicles 12:32).
They had the insight to recognize the times they were living in and implement the right strategies and solutions to counteract the enemy and initiate God's plans.
With this season of divine opportunity before us, we need to do the same without hiding under a rock or denying the negative realities.
Right now, we need to decide whether we will look through the eyes of fear, bury our heads in the sand, try to stay comfortable, or tap into the redemptive plan of the Lord.
Let me say it again: This is not a moment to hide; it's a moment of divine opportunity. The church is shifting into a place of being a voice in the nations, rising up to be influential and speaking into situations to see shifts in crucial areas.
In this next season, you'll see key players arise. We don't need just to tell the news—we can all read the news. You don't have to be prophetic to react to the news; that's not prophetic. What's prophetic is being able to look at the times, tap into the heart of God, and ask, "God, what are you doing right now in this hour?"
THE CLEANSING & PURGING
We're in a days-of-Elijah moment, like when Elijah went to Mount Carmel for a showdown, which was actually an intercessory moment and a cleansing.
If you look at that moment as a cleansing, you'll recognize that the prophets of Baal were, in many ways, like a church that has not been in a relationship with God but has been in bed with culture. God used that moment to cleanse the church and the land of what was defiled so that the drought could break and the rain could come.
Right now, if we're looking correctly at this moment, we can see that the nation of America turning back to God involves breaking the agreements we've made through our compromise and restoring what has been broken down.
Just as Roe v. Wade set in motion a curse over the land, God has been raising up a people for many years who would tear down that altar and covenant so that we could enter back into the fullness of what the nation was meant to be.
Christy and I believe our calling here in America is to see not just the fall of Goliath, which we believe Roe v. Wade represented, but also to see Goliath's brothers chased out of the land. What happens in America influences Australia, which is why we know our calling here is significant. We have definitely shifted into a season of divine opportunity.
For the body of Christ, this means engaging. We need to stop pandering to culture and the fear of man and shift into a place of being a voice and an influence.
This really comes down to shaking off the fear of man and being the voices God has called us to be. We are entering times where it may feel like persecution, but I believe the days of being secret or hidden justice fighters are over. We have to rise up and be the voices that God has called us to be.
THE DAYS OF REVEALING
The message of the hour is that we are entering the days of the REVEALING of the true church.
While many are looking at the end times as this apocalyptic Armageddon, the word apocalypse actually means "the revealing." So regardless of what the enemy's playbook is, God's playbook is going to only shine brighter and reveal Himself in the earth.
Yes, we are stepping into the days of the great revealing of the church.
The revealing of the pure bride and the revealing of the promiscuous bride.
After many years of intense fire and warfare, we are truly entering days of greater glory. I saw it as no coincidence that I had this dream on 8:18:
"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us" (Romans 8:18).
We are entering a shift of power! The enemy has felt like he has usurped the church of power, but now we are entering the days of the power-packed church arising!
It's time for a Pentecost-proportioned move of the Spirit where we leave our earthly wisdom and achievements behind and surrender to the Spirit once again.
HEAVEN'S NEWSCAST
In this hour of divine opportunity, we need to focus less on what the enemy is doing and tap into the newscast of heaven.
It's not that we shouldn't talk about what is happening in the world—we definitely should—but what gets more airtime: the enemy's agenda or what God is doing?
The opportunity is this: just as Joseph was brought from obscurity before Pharaoh to save a nation, God is raising up and revealing His church in all metrons and societal spheres on earth.
We need to be engaged in policies and government and not bury our heads in the sand.
We need to pray for the revelation of the church and for Christians to rise up in areas of influence so we can see God's redemptive plan in His divine playbook revealed.
There are divine opportunities for the body of Christ right now to be revealed where the enemy is wreaking the most havoc so we can see a take-back and a shift of power.
That's what I believe God is doing—there are going to be some supernatural shifts in the coming years, accompanied by incredible tension.
We need to tell the body of Christ that this tension will be between demonic darkness spreading in certain areas and the revealing of God's plan simultaneously.
There will be wars, shakings, natural disasters, and financial issues, but if we only focus on those things, we will only see the deep darkness spreading over the earth.
God wants us to focus on His redemptive plan in His divine playbook.
I have more specifics to share from this encounter, but for now, know that God's plans are about to be seen globally through you and me!
Over the next year, God is going to pour out dreams and strategies, blueprints, and wisdom to those who ask for it.
He is going to bring you before kings with the word of the Lord to shift power regionally and nationally.
He is handing out keys of authority to take back what has been compromised and broken.
And He is giving you a voice and a zeal to see your nation and the nations of the earth return to God and chase the giants out of the land!

January 21, 2025
Over the last few days, as I was praying about what to release for this week's Prophetic Insight, the Lord began to speak to me about those who had felt like they had given everything for the call in this past season but were finding themselves here in January still struggling to break through mindsets of disappointment and hope deferred. Many felt like they had given everything, yet it seemed like nothing had come to fruition or had come to pass. I'll even be bold and say that many have even felt disappointed in the Lord. Many of you have said, “Lord, are you here? I don’t understand how I’ve ended up in this place of feeling like I’ve sacrificed my Isaac for you.” That was literally the phrase I heard “I’ve sacrificed my Isaac for you.” I believe this is even more specific to pioneer families and those who have been pioneering in hard ground and difficult places. The last four years have been very costly and there’s been a high cost to this call, and many have felt like they’re at the place where they’ve sacrificed their Isaac. But then I felt like the Lord was reminding me, and I want to say this, that in the story of Abraham and Isaac, God provided. God provided the ram at the last moment that was caught in the thicket. I feel like the Lord is going to show you in the days to come that what we thought we sacrificed wasn’t actually the sacrifice. What we thought we gave up to follow the call and the high cost is not even the cost. We’re going to see that in the end it was the Lord who provided the ram in the thicket as the sacrifice. Meaning, at the end of the story He will reveal Himself powerfully through your storyline as Provider and Protector. Right now, we’re only seeing one part of the story. We’re only seeing the part where it’s difficult. Just as Abraham must have felt, it was a challenge to go into a season or a moment completely prepared to give up everything, fully believing that was what he had to do. But I want to say this and prophesy this: I believe, especially in the next few years, we’re going to see the Lord provide the ram in the thicket. This is the Lord bringing redemption, recompense, and provision to you and me where it’s felt like the cost has been too high, depleting us and running us into the ground. COME TO THE ALTAR As we go into this week, I believe the Lord wants us to come to the altar and give Him those “costs” we have been carrying. Even right now imagine yourself heaping up all those disappointments, hurts, and frustrations onto that fire. Say, “Lord, I recognize there are situations I don’t understand. I recognize, that I don’t know how the chapters of my life will intersect, or why I went through what I did, but I trust you.” — it's time to give it to Him. Can you do that as we begin this week? Give those burdens to Him. Maybe you need to even just go lay down on your living room floor, put on a worship track, and say, “Lord, here I am. I’m on the altar again. I give you all my questions. I give you all my frustrations.” Let Him deliver you. Let Him heal you. Then you’ll begin to see the Lord provide. And also, I want to say this: there is no sacrifice that does not produce oil. There is oil gushing from your life. I believe even this week the Lord wants to show you the oil that’s been producing consistently from this season of pressing, crushing, and high cost. This is the costly oil, like the oil poured over Jesus by the woman before His crucifixion and burial. We’ve been in a season where it has felt like so much death, but now you will watch it produce life for you and for those around you. RESTRAINTS & NEW LEVELS Just a few nights ago, I had a dream of a vehicle being fitted out for some kind of ministry road trip. I remember being excited in the dream because it looked like an armored vehicle or cyber truck of some sort. It felt like some kind of governmental mission to go into a state or territory. When I opened the doors, I noticed two things. The car was fitted with toddler seats throughout, in every single seat, and over the seats were restraints. But not just normal seat belts, but proper crossed restraints like those in crash test dummy vehicles. Suddenly, I felt this overwhelming realization, “We can’t travel in this. This isn’t going to help.” On the outside, it looked like the perfect car, but on the inside, I thought, “This car is for babies. This isn’t going to help us complete this mission.” I began to rip out the seats one by one and cut out the restraints. What does this dream mean? I believe the Lord wants to highlight, especially this week, that there is maturation taking place in the body of Christ. Many have been operating from a place of immaturity and restraint. The baby seats in this dream represent the enemy keeping people at a level of low spiritual intelligence and immaturity, acting as a ceiling, containing them and preventing spiritual and authoritative growth. The restraints symbolize spiritual forces and assignments that have kept many in a season of constraint. God doesn’t want His body restrained. The cap that has settled over the church these last four years seeks to keep us spiritually immature, especially regarding discernment and warfare. When restrained spiritually, we naturally fall back into our own strength, relying on human methods and mindsets. God has equipped us with everything needed to fulfill our mission. Yet, if we feel restrained, we revert to our own methods. This week, I feel the Lord wants us to confront areas of restraint and spiritual immaturity in our lives. Can you identify places where you’ve been relying on your own understanding? Have there been areas where God has been challenging you to grow, but you’ve retreated to comfort? That’s the baby seat. God is calling us to remove it from our mission. Rip it out and step into the fullness of the calling, authority, and anointing God has placed on your life. Look for opportunities to do this in the week ahead. MASKED SPIRITS On that note, I want to highlight something the Lord has been showing me in dreams and revealing to me as I’ve been praying over this week. I truly believe that, on the back of the Lord increasing the maturity of the church, we’re entering into days of discerning spirits more than we ever have before. There has been a major cap over many in the body of Christ in understanding the true mechanics and nature of spiritual warfare. There’s been a very superficial and fleshly way of looking at the realm of the spirit. Many in the body of Christ have fallen into the trap of improperly discerning, not just moments or seasons but also actual assignments and events on both private and public levels. The fruit of not discerning well is that we react in the wrong spirit. You think about the sons of thunder in the Bible who wanted to call down fire on a city that rejected Jesus. “When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?” Luke 9:54 They were discerning correctly in one sense: the city had rejected Jesus. But in their discernment, they thought the answer was to destroy the entire city, which was not Jesus’ heart at all, so he rebuked them because they were of the wrong spirit. It wasn’t harsh for Jesus to say that. As believers, we should discern correctly because death and life are in the power of the tongue. When we react out of the flesh or discern incorrectly, our responses are also incorrect. Without realizing it, we can increase the enemy’s influence in moments we’re meant to counteract them. For instance, if there’s a situation in our church or family life and we discern incorrectly, we might respond in the wrong spirit, creating more damage. Conversely, if we discern correctly, we foil the enemy’s plans, bring true repentance and change to the situation, and restore relationships in the process. I believe this week the Lord wants to give us eyes to discern properly. I love the Scripture that speaks about Elisha being able to hear what the king was saying in his room. I believe the Lord wants us to have eyes to see in this hour, to understand what is happening in the spirit realm, so we know how to respond with the Spirit of the Lord rather than partnering with the wrong spirit. We’re living in a time of masked spirits. That’s the phrase the Lord showed me: masked spirits. Spirits that would deceive many in the body of Christ. They appear as one thing but are actually another. They look like righteousness but are not; they look like devotion and consecration but are actually rebellion. Only those who discern correctly will be able to distinguish between them. Yes, we’re in an hour where it’s becoming harder to discern, and God is calling you and me to come up higher this week. I believe there’s an invitation to step into a new realm of discernment. Hebrews 5:14 speaks about the discerning of spirits that comes by use. This week, ask for it. Ask the Lord to lead you out of a critical spirit and into true discernment. Christy recently said something that struck me: “The counterfeit of intercession is accusation, and the counterfeit of discernment is a critical spirit.” WITH ME OR AGAINST ME? I hear the Lord saying to the body of Christ this week, “Are you with Me or are you against Me?” It was a sobering thing to hear: “Are you with Me or against Me?” It reminds me of when Saul, on the road to Damascus, had his encounter with Jesus. Jesus asked him, “Why do you persecute Me? Why do you kick against the goads?” I feel like we’re in a moment where man’s methodologies and pharasee-like methods are working against the true kingdom. God is saying to us, both personally and to the body of Christ: “Are you for Me or against Me?” I believe this week the Lord wants us to reset ourselves and consecrate ourselves before Him. Let’s come back and say, “Lord, any areas of my heart or life that are working against You, I surrender. I give them to You, any arrogance, any pride, I give them to You.” We’re entering days where it will become very black and white, where it will be clear who is serving the Lord and who is not. All the gray areas that have been concealed and hidden, where people with wrong motives have pretended to serve the Lord but were actually serving their own ambition, are coming to light. The gray is decreasing. It’s becoming black and white. There will be no more lukewarm. No more middle ground. No more fence-sitting. The Lord is looking for those who are on fire for Him, or those who are not. Choose this day whom you will serve. As we go into this week, say, “Lord, I serve You. You are my Lord. I give You all idols, all other lovers, all other affections in my heart and my life. I return to You, in Jesus’ name.” I WILL VINDICATE One of the most instrumental insights the Lord gave me this past week involved two visions of the same thing: wheels turning in the spirit. I saw these wheels churning, looking like the inner mechanics of a clock or an industrial machine, something you wouldn’t normally see. The wheels moved slowly at first, but then they began to speed up. They moved so fast that they became a blur. I heard the phrase: “wheels of vindication.” There’s a correlation between vindication, justice, and wheels in the spirit. The Lord begins to shift areas of divine government, dominion, and power. This happens on a large scale, impacting regions and cities but it also affects us personally. Before I share my greatest insight for this week, I want to say this: major things are shifting in the spirit right now. They’re happening behind the scenes and aren’t obvious unless you’re paying attention. We’ve been in a time of massive delay for years now, globally and individually. Cycles of being stuck, unresolved prayers, and lack of resolve have persisted. But the Lord is bringing vindication and divine resolution. On a personal level, God is bringing resolve to areas of your life. Write out a list of unresolved areas, and watch the Lord bring answers. The Word of God says many times that God will vindicate such as Psalms 37:6-7; “He will vindicate you in broad daylight, and publicly defend your just cause. Wait patiently for the Lord! Wait confidently for him! Do not fret over the apparent success of a sinner, a man who carries out wicked schemes” It’s His promise. We must surrender our desire to vindicate ourselves. Vindicating ourselves only brings more confusion, frustration, and burnout, and it hurts others in the process. Divine vindication brings healing and redemption for all involved. DIVINE JUSTICE Last week in our prayer group I shared a voice note stating this next part; “On January 20, I believe something significant will take place, not just in the natural, but spiritually. In Luke 18:6–7, Jesus tells the parable of the unjust judge and the persistent widow. The judge gave her justice because of her persistence. Jesus used this to illustrate the power of prayer. In verse 7, it says: “Will God not bring justice to His chosen ones?” Over the last four years and beyond, it has felt like justice has tarried. Prayer warriors have grown weary, crying out for divine justice. It feels like evil continues to thrive unchecked” “Christy and I have been deeply moved in recent days by the insight that God is indeed going to bring justice. I believe we are entering a divine shift of justice on January 20. This is what the enemy has been afraid of, a significant spiritual change of the guard and in the spirit” “As the hands of justice shift, there will be an eviction of spiritual principalities and powers. We are entering a season of new conquest, much like Joshua entering the Promised Land. But let me emphasize, this is not a time without battles. I believe the next four years will be a season of conquest and battle but not in the way we’ve seen it in the past, but in a new context” “We are stepping into a time where we are anointed and authorized to evict principalities, powers, and the “sons of Anak” from the land. Justice that has been delayed for so long will suddenly be overturned, and things will begin to be revealed and resolved quickly” “This is what the enemy has been fighting to prevent. However, as we pray, we must remember that we are not the tail - we are the head. We are discerning these movements in the spirit because God is revealing them to us” “Christy and I recently spoke with our good friend, Lou Engle, about the correlation between Joel 2:3 and Acts 2:3. The fire in Joel 2 and the tongues of fire in Acts 2. Something significant emerged during our conversation: In some translations of Psalm 2, the chapters are divided into Act 1, 2, 3, and 4” “ In Act 1: the nations rage and mock God. We have seen this act play out for years now with the mockery of righteousness” “ In Act 2: God responds and laughs, installing His kings upon Zion” “Lou said, “We’re not just in Acts 2 right now; we’re entering Psalm 2, Act 2.” This is the moment where God responds!” “There is a correlation between Psalm 2 and Daniel 2:21–22, where God dethrones kings and installs His chosen ones. These are the Davids those who have stewarded well, who are now being installed in places of authority” “All of this is to say: you have authority and power. As we pray, we are moving toward a monumental moment where divine justice is shifting and changing. I believe we are about to see extraordinary things in the months and years to come” ACTS 2 FAMILIES ASSEMBLE! My last exhortation is an encouragement for those of you in seasons of movement and transition, as our family is right now. I want to say to you: Acts 2 families, assemble! The Lord is shifting you out of the season of shifting sands. He’s planting your feet on solid rock again. After years of instability and waves knocking you back and forth, He’s bringing you into stability and a season of establishing. He’s calling you into your greatest divine assignment, one that will supersede every other ambition or idea you’ve had. God is bringing you back to the simplicity of Acts 2 and the simple gospel. He’s untangling you from the snakes of the ministry world and everything that has choked the life, joy, and adventure out of your calling. He’s bringing you back to the simplicity of His presence and to loving people well. Acts 2 families, assemble! Begin to dream with the Lord. There is grace this week to dream with Him. Come together as a family and ask, “Lord, where are You leading us? What do You have for us?” If you’ve been in a place of frustration or confusion, or if you’ve seen your children bending under the weight of this season of crushing, come together. Consecrate yourselves before the Lord and ask Him, “What is our next step?” He will give you your next step. The Lord is bringing families back into divine order. He’s clearing out all the debris and planting your feet in a place where you will flourish not just as individuals or ministries, but as families. This is a time where your children will thrive. They will step into their own Acts 2 as well. This is what the Lord is doing right now, bringing us back to the original call, the simple call. Let’s embrace it, dream with Him, and step into what He has prepared for us.

I have a message for the wild horses, the new breed. In this season, you’re going to see the reason why the Lord led you out from the pack. Why He detoured you away from the norm, why He told you to leave those rooms, why He told you to break those relationships and contracts and sever those ties. It didn’t make sense at the time. It hasn’t made sense to the people around you, the people you left, or the places you left. It didn’t even make sense to you at the time or to the livelihood of your calling with the Lord except, deep down in your gut, you felt it. You felt the call. You felt the invitation. You felt the strong leading that you were to go a different road. And now, you’re about to see the fruit of your obedience. You’re about to see the fruit of walking that different road with the Lord. You’re about to see what obedience brings you. You’re about to see what you’ve envisioned in secret, unable to share with others, become your reality. Because God is about to establish what’s inside you, around you. He’s about to draw many other wild horses like you to the fresh spring that is springing up in your life. For there is about to be favor, and people will see and recognize the anointing that God has been brewing in secret. When they looked down on you, belittled you, outcast you, and talked about you… It’s about to be built. It’s about to be established. And I hear the Lord saying “Well done David for dancing the ark back to our rightful place” Well done John for going against the flow and birthing in the wilderness. You didn’t care what they thought and now the Lord is going to use you as his prototype for his bride in the says to come. Your obedience is birthing a blueprint and a cry of repentance leading the church to the narrow road again. And I pray as you read this that any last remnants of the fear of man breaks off you and the bridle of religion falls to the ground and that you would be the wild and undignified brumbie God has called you to be in Jesus name! And I hear the lord saying; Run run run horses run! Don’t look back. Don’t look to the left or to the right! Do you see me? Look to me and no one else! Run with me and in unison with me and move with my heartbeat. And lead my people into her promise! “A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God” Isaiah 40:3

This isn’t going to help us complete this mission.” I began to rip out the seats one by one and cut out the restraints. What does this dream mean? I believe the Lord wants to highlight, especially this week, that there is maturation taking place in the body of Christ. Many have been operating from a place of immaturity and restraint. The baby seats in this dream represent the enemy keeping people at a level of low spiritual intelligence and immaturity, acting as a ceiling, containing them and preventing spiritual and authoritative growth. The restraints symbolize spiritual forces and assignments that have kept many in a season of constraint. God doesn’t want His body restrained. The cap that has settled over the church these last four years seeks to keep us spiritually immature, especially regarding discernment and warfare. When restrained spiritually, we naturally fall back into our own strength, relying on human methods and mindsets. God has equipped us with everything needed to fulfill our mission. Yet, if we feel restrained, we revert to our own methods. This week, I feel the Lord wants us to confront areas of restraint and spiritual immaturity in our lives. Can you identify places where you’ve been relying on your own understanding? Have there been areas where God has been challenging you to grow, but you’ve retreated to comfort? That’s the baby seat. God is calling us to remove it from our mission. Rip it out and step into the fullness of the calling, authority, and anointing God has placed on your life. Look for opportunities to do this in the week ahead. MASKED SPIRITS On that note, I want to highlight something the Lord has been showing me in dreams and revealing to me as I’ve been praying over this week. I truly believe that, on the back of the Lord increasing the maturity of the church, we’re entering into days of discerning spirits more than we ever have before. There has been a major cap over many in the body of Christ in understanding the true mechanics and nature of spiritual warfare. There’s been a very superficial and fleshly way of looking at the realm of the spirit. Many in the body of Christ have fallen into the trap of improperly discerning, not just moments or seasons but also actual assignments and events on both private and public levels. The fruit of not discerning well is that we react in the wrong spirit. You think about the sons of thunder in the Bible who wanted to call down fire on a city that rejected Jesus. “When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?” Luke 9:54 They were discerning correctly in one sense: the city had rejected Jesus. But in their discernment, they thought the answer was to destroy the entire city, which was not Jesus’ heart at all, so he rebuked them because they were of the wrong spirit. It wasn’t harsh for Jesus to say that. As believers, we should discern correctly because death and life are in the power of the tongue. When we react out of the flesh or discern incorrectly, our responses are also incorrect. Without realizing it, we can increase the enemy’s influence in moments we’re meant to counteract them. For instance, if there’s a situation in our church or family life and we discern incorrectly, we might respond in the wrong spirit, creating more damage. Conversely, if we discern correctly, we foil the enemy’s plans, bring true repentance and change to the situation, and restore relationships in the process. I believe this week the Lord wants to give us eyes to discern properly. I love the Scripture that speaks about Elisha being able to hear what the king was saying in his room. I believe the Lord wants us to have eyes to see in this hour, to understand what is happening in the spirit realm, so we know how to respond with the Spirit of the Lord rather than partnering with the wrong spirit. We’re living in a time of masked spirits. That’s the phrase the Lord showed me: masked spirits. Spirits that would deceive many in the body of Christ. They appear as one thing but are actually another. They look like righteousness but are not; they look like devotion and consecration but are actually rebellion. Only those who discern correctly will be able to distinguish between them. Yes, we’re in an hour where it’s becoming harder to discern, and God is calling you and me to come up higher this week. I believe there’s an invitation to step into a new realm of discernment. Hebrews 5:14 speaks about the discerning of spirits that comes by use. This week, ask for it. Ask the Lord to lead you out of a critical spirit and into true discernment. Christy recently said something that struck me: “The counterfeit of intercession is accusation, and the counterfeit of discernment is a critical spirit.” WITH ME OR AGAINST ME? I hear the Lord saying to the body of Christ this week, “Are you with Me or are you against Me?” It was a sobering thing to hear: “Are you with Me or against Me?” It reminds me of when Saul, on the road to Damascus, had his encounter with Jesus. Jesus asked him, “Why do you persecute Me? Why do you kick against the goads?” I feel like we’re in a moment where man’s methodologies and pharasee-like methods are working against the true kingdom. God is saying to us, both personally and to the body of Christ: “Are you for Me or against Me?” I believe this week the Lord wants us to reset ourselves and consecrate ourselves before Him. Let’s come back and say, “Lord, any areas of my heart or life that are working against You, I surrender. I give them to You, any arrogance, any pride, I give them to You.” We’re entering days where it will become very black and white, where it will be clear who is serving the Lord and who is not. All the gray areas that have been concealed and hidden, where people with wrong motives have pretended to serve the Lord but were actually serving their own ambition, are coming to light. The gray is decreasing. It’s becoming black and white. There will be no more lukewarm. No more middle ground. No more fence-sitting. The Lord is looking for those who are on fire for Him, or those who are not. Choose this day whom you will serve. As we go into this week, say, “Lord, I serve You. You are my Lord. I give You all idols, all other lovers, all other affections in my heart and my life. I return to You, in Jesus’ name.” I WILL VINDICATE One of the most instrumental insights the Lord gave me this past week involved two visions of the same thing: wheels turning in the spirit. I saw these wheels churning, looking like the inner mechanics of a clock or an industrial machine, something you wouldn’t normally see. The wheels moved slowly at first, but then they began to speed up. They moved so fast that they became a blur. I heard the phrase: “wheels of vindication.” There’s a correlation between vindication, justice, and wheels in the spirit. The Lord begins to shift areas of divine government, dominion, and power. This happens on a large scale, impacting regions and cities but it also affects us personally. Before I share my greatest insight for this week, I want to say this: major things are shifting in the spirit right now. They’re happening behind the scenes and aren’t obvious unless you’re paying attention. We’ve been in a time of massive delay for years now, globally and individually. Cycles of being stuck, unresolved prayers, and lack of resolve have persisted. But the Lord is bringing vindication and divine resolution. On a personal level, God is bringing resolve to areas of your life. Write out a list of unresolved areas, and watch the Lord bring answers. The Word of God says many times that God will vindicate such as Psalms 37:6-7; “He will vindicate you in broad daylight, and publicly defend your just cause. Wait patiently for the Lord! Wait confidently for him! Do not fret over the apparent success of a sinner, a man who carries out wicked schemes” It’s His promise. We must surrender our desire to vindicate ourselves. Vindicating ourselves only brings more confusion, frustration, and burnout, and it hurts others in the process. Divine vindication brings healing and redemption for all involved. DIVINE JUSTICE Last week in our prayer group I shared a voice note stating this next part; “On January 20, I believe something significant will take place, not just in the natural, but spiritually. In Luke 18:6–7, Jesus tells the parable of the unjust judge and the persistent widow. The judge gave her justice because of her persistence. Jesus used this to illustrate the power of prayer. In verse 7, it says: “Will God not bring justice to His chosen ones?” Over the last four years and beyond, it has felt like justice has tarried. Prayer warriors have grown weary, crying out for divine justice. It feels like evil continues to thrive unchecked” “Christy and I have been deeply moved in recent days by the insight that God is indeed going to bring justice. I believe we are entering a divine shift of justice on January 20. This is what the enemy has been afraid of, a significant spiritual change of the guard and in the spirit” “As the hands of justice shift, there will be an eviction of spiritual principalities and powers. We are entering a season of new conquest, much like Joshua entering the Promised Land. But let me emphasize, this is not a time without battles. I believe the next four years will be a season of conquest and battle but not in the way we’ve seen it in the past, but in a new context” “We are stepping into a time where we are anointed and authorized to evict principalities, powers, and the “sons of Anak” from the land. Justice that has been delayed for so long will suddenly be overturned, and things will begin to be revealed and resolved quickly” “This is what the enemy has been fighting to prevent. However, as we pray, we must remember that we are not the tail - we are the head. We are discerning these movements in the spirit because God is revealing them to us” “Christy and I recently spoke with our good friend, Lou Engle, about the correlation between Joel 2:3 and Acts 2:3. The fire in Joel 2 and the tongues of fire in Acts 2. Something significant emerged during our conversation: In some translations of Psalm 2, the chapters are divided into Act 1, 2, 3, and 4” “ In Act 1: the nations rage and mock God. We have seen this act play out for years now with the mockery of righteousness” “ In Act 2: God responds and laughs, installing His kings upon Zion” “Lou said, “We’re not just in Acts 2 right now; we’re entering Psalm 2, Act 2.” This is the moment where God responds!” “There is a correlation between Psalm 2 and Daniel 2:21–22, where God dethrones kings and installs His chosen ones. These are the Davids those who have stewarded well, who are now being installed in places of authority” “All of this is to say: you have authority and power. As we pray, we are moving toward a monumental moment where divine justice is shifting and changing. I believe we are about to see extraordinary things in the months and years to come” ACTS 2 FAMILIES ASSEMBLE! My last exhortation is an encouragement for those of you in seasons of movement and transition, as our family is right now. I want to say to you: Acts 2 families, assemble! The Lord is shifting you out of the season of shifting sands. He’s planting your feet on solid rock again. After years of instability and waves knocking you back and forth, He’s bringing you into stability and a season of establishing. He’s calling you into your greatest divine assignment, one that will supersede every other ambition or idea you’ve had. God is bringing you back to the simplicity of Acts 2 and the simple gospel. He’s untangling you from the snakes of the ministry world and everything that has choked the life, joy, and adventure out of your calling. He’s bringing you back to the simplicity of His presence and to loving people well. Acts 2 families, assemble! Begin to dream with the Lord. There is grace this week to dream with Him. Come together as a family and ask, “Lord, where are You leading us? What do You have for us?” If you’ve been in a place of frustration or confusion, or if you’ve seen your children bending under the weight of this season of crushing, come together. Consecrate yourselves before the Lord and ask Him, “What is our next step?” He will give you your next step. The Lord is bringing families back into divine order. He’s clearing out all the debris and planting your feet in a place where you will flourish not just as individuals or ministries, but as families. This is a time where your children will thrive. They will step into their own Acts 2 as well. This is what the Lord is doing right now, bringing us back to the original call, the simple call. Let’s embrace it, dream with Him, and step into what He has prepared for us.

I have a message for the wild horses, the new breed. In this season, you’re going to see the reason why the Lord led you out from the pack. Why He detoured you away from the norm, why He told you to leave those rooms, why He told you to break those relationships and contracts and sever those ties. It didn’t make sense at the time. It hasn’t made sense to the people around you, the people you left, or the places you left. It didn’t even make sense to you at the time or to the livelihood of your calling with the Lord except, deep down in your gut, you felt it. You felt the call. You felt the invitation. You felt the strong leading that you were to go a different road. And now, you’re about to see the fruit of your obedience. You’re about to see the fruit of walking that different road with the Lord. You’re about to see what obedience brings you. You’re about to see what you’ve envisioned in secret, unable to share with others, become your reality. Because God is about to establish what’s inside you, around you. He’s about to draw many other wild horses like you to the fresh spring that is springing up in your life. For there is about to be favor, and people will see and recognize the anointing that God has been brewing in secret. When they looked down on you, belittled you, outcast you, and talked about you… It’s about to be built. It’s about to be established. And I hear the Lord saying “Well done David for dancing the ark back to our rightful place” Well done John for going against the flow and birthing in the wilderness. You didn’t care what they thought and now the Lord is going to use you as his prototype for his bride in the says to come. Your obedience is birthing a blueprint and a cry of repentance leading the church to the narrow road again. And I pray as you read this that any last remnants of the fear of man breaks off you and the bridle of religion falls to the ground and that you would be the wild and undignified brumbie God has called you to be in Jesus name! And I hear the lord saying; Run run run horses run! Don’t look back. Don’t look to the left or to the right! Do you see me? Look to me and no one else! Run with me and in unison with me and move with my heartbeat. And lead my people into her promise! “A voice of one calling: “In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God” Isaiah 40:3

GUARD YOUR HEART The first thing I want to share is a scripture that I heard the Lord repeating over and over the last few days; “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it” Proverbs 4:23 And as i was thinking about what this could relate to this week apart from the obvious I heard the word “triggered” and knew right away that this week we must guard our hearts and be vigilant because the enemy may try to trigger you and bait you into warfare, conflict, or unnecessary drama, fear, worry, and doubts. Guard your hearts! Don’t be pulled left and right this week. Stay grounded and focussed. WHISPERING CYCLONES The second thing I want to share with you this week is to look out for the whispering cyclones. The Lord showed me there would be an increase, especially on social media and in the news, of chatter wars, slander, and witchcraft. The phrase the Lord gave me was “whispering cyclones.” These whispers seem innocent, pure, and some will even parade as righteous, but they are spiritual cyclones releasing witchcraft and sliming people. The Lord said “Tell them not to engage, for it is a distraction method of the enemy to get you off course to focus on your accuser rather than your Savior. Don’t engage with the cyclones. Don’t engage with the conversation of demons!” The Lord wants you this week to focus on prayer in the secret place and releasing the sound you were meant to release. When you focus on these whispering cyclones, it robs you of your purity and taints the sound you were meant to carry. WARNING DREAM SURGE The third thing I want to share with you this week is that dreams are going to increase. The Lord is going to release warning dreams and intercessory assignment dreams. The scripture that came to mind was Job 5:12: “He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.” The Lord is releasing warning dreams but is also releasing dreams that show your authority to thwart and prevent tragedies in the spirit. Do not think that what He reveals is beyond you just because it may involve governmental matters or nations. The Lord has called you to pray. When you receive these warning dreams: Write them down. Pray them through with friends. And remember that your prayers avail much. God is looking for a new breed of watchmen in this hour, those who will rise with a fresh mantle to release the strategies of heaven, evict principalities and powers, and stop the plans of darkness. That’s you! HOPE DEFERRED CROSSROAD I heard the Lord say that this week, God is continuing to clear out areas of hope deferred. The phrase I heard was “hope deferred crossroads.” I believe we are in a process where the Lord is doing a deep soul work in His people and breaking hope deferred that has been sitting in the recesses of peoples souls like hardened concrete. This week, look out for moments where the Lord surfaces areas of your life that feel like barriers or unresolved issues. I saw them as shrines to past seasons, places where you had built a monument to disappointment. The Lord is asking you to lay them down so you can pick up fresh hope and new promises. This week will be a time of surrender. The Lord may lead you into healing moments where He asks for full access to those wounded places so He can break off the weight of disappointment. As you confront hope deferred, you’ll begin to notice a crossroad where things shift and areas that once felt blocked will suddenly open up. 4 YEAR CYCLES ENDING The next thing the Lord showed me was that He is clearing out old cycles from the last four years. There were specific cycles of attack that began in 2020, assignments of the enemy meant to hinder, delay, and assassinate you, not to mention tire you out and burn you out. The Lord is bringing restitution and restoration as we come to this 4 year mark. This will manifest in situations where you will finally see conclusions to struggles that have persisted since 2020. What this means is that you will notice a side release in places you have become accustomed to endless tediousness and difficulty. BUILDING THE UNUSUAL The Lord said to me, “This will be a year of building, but not according to what you’ve known.” God is calling His people to build the unusual. It won’t look like the typical ministry models but will mirror the Acts 2 model: family, not empires. Then the Lord spoke to me about 5 unusual expressions that he is right now calling people to break away from the norm to build. Spiritual Hospitals — refuge centers for the sick, broken, and addicted, demon possessed and hurting. Houses of healing and divine restoration. Adoption Centers — places where true spiritual mothers and fathers will Impart identity to the next generation and release the spirit of adoption over spiritual orphans. Launch Pads — places to train, equip, ignite and send people into their callings. Fellowship Tables — where the rejected and isolated can go to find true family. Prophetic Dream Teams — where there are no hidden group agendas, but rather war eagles who simply gather to pray, share dreams, and move on them. But there will also be many other unusual expressions that get awoken this week. Ideas and blueprints for raising powerful and healthy families and children. The question is, will you say yes to the unusual? STRATEGIC RELOCATIONS The Lord is relocating many people right now for strategic assignments. Dreams, visions, and supernatural direction will increase as God speaks to those who have felt silenced or stifled and stuck for a long time. The Lord is releasing a call to move, shift, and inherit territories for His Kingdom purposes. He is calling us into a Psalm 2:8 “Ask of Me, and I will give you the nations.” God is putting cities and nations on people’s hearts. He is searching for obedient ones who will rise as movers, shakers, and waymakers that will GO and do what He says to do. THE LION & THE TRUMPET As I was praying over this week I saw a vision of a timid lion, and this lion was walking around growling, but it was almost like the growl of a lion that was incredibly sick. Suddenly, I saw the Spirit of the Lord come upon this lion, and the lion began to roar in power. I knew it was the Lord showing me what is happening in the body of Christ right now. I then saw a trumpet in the spirit coming from the mouth of the lion. It was the sound of a trumpet blaring, and I believe that this week there is a shift taking place in the body of Christ. The Lord is restoring the trumpet back to the Church. It will start small but the sound will begin to grow louder. It’s the unapologetic cry of David in the land that will take down giants and evict principalities and powers in the land. The Lord is doing something new, and it carries the weight of the moment when you’ve been pressed and pushed into a corner for so long. Suddenly, there comes an unction, a fresh moment when the Spirit of the Living God comes upon you. Out of that place of suppression, oppression, being tied down and held back, suddenly from deep within you comes the fresh cry and sound of the worshiper you were called to be - the eagle of war. Look out this week for a fresh unction of the Holy Spirit that will open the mouths of those who have been canceled by the Church and canceled by the world. PRAY OVER THE INAUGURATION Lastly, as I have been praying over the United States and the inauguration on the 20th we have felt strongly that the enemies plans are still to continue to derail it in some way shape or form and to continue to use demonic and divisive propaganda to create havoc. This week we must pray for our leaders and pray for no terror or calamity to come against them. Also pray for all plots and plans of harm and terror around the nation to be overturned in Jesus name. In a dream recently I saw President Trump stand to speak when the microphone was cut. Then I saw blood stained hands and knew the Lord was revealing the hidden plans that have brought pain and bloodshed in the name of political gain and demonic agendas. Let’s pray people of God! LET JESUS BE YOUR ONLY REWARD Finally, let Jesus be your reward. Seek Him above all other voices. Talk with Him more than you scroll on social media. Be in His presence instead of being pulled by all the constant distractions. If you haven’t felt His presence for a while, I encourage you to linger until you recover what was lost. Stay focussed. Stay surrendered. God is moving!

I hear the Lord saying: “Collect oil in the time of oil. Collect oil while there is time to collect oil,” says the Lord. Yes, the Lord is saying over this year: “It is a year to reserve oil, for there are days coming when you’ll need the oil. There are days coming when you will need the wine. Come, buy wine and milk without price,” says the Lord. “For I will fill your vats and I will fill your storehouses,” says the Lord. “Come into My presence, come into My throne room, come into My glory,” says the Lord. “For many are chasing that which is like vapor, it disappears, for it is temporal. But those who would seek Me in this shall find Me. Those who would come into My presence and linger in this shall find Me. Linger, linger, linger,” says the Lord. “Where are those who would linger? Where are those who would come for more than just goosebumps? Where are those who would come and minister unto Me? Who would come as a friend meets his friend? For I long to give My secrets, I long to give out the secrets of My heart,” says the Lord. “I long to reveal the mysteries of heaven. I long to reveal the hour that is at hand. I long to give the language. I long to show what is to come and to pour out foresight upon a people who would know My heart, and know the hour they live in. Where are those who would come and linger and receive from Me? Where are those who would empty themselves out before Me like a water jug so I can refill them over and over and over again? For the hour we are living in is short, and I am looking for a people who would sacrifice everything just to be in My presence.” “For you have been through many years where the enemy sought to puncture you and deplete you. He has sought to crack you like an expensive water jug. Yet I am here to overflow, even the most broken of vessels. I am here to restore, to pour out, and to bring you into overflow again. Even the most damaged, the most broken, the most hope-deferred, the sick, and the wounded of My people, I long to restore them because of my great compassion for you,” says the Lord. “If only you would humble yourself and turn to me. If only you would come before Me. If only you would come into the threshing floor and allow Me to be your Boaz. Allow Me to be your kinsman redeemer,” says the Lord. “For I would be He who would eclipse every single heartache you have ever endured. I will buy it all. I will take your past, your present, and your future. I will take it all, and I will turn your life around,” says the Lord. “If you would come and be married unto Me again, says the Lord. If you would leave your other lovers behind and be married unto Me, I will restore you, says the Lord. “ I do not just want to restore your heart. I want to turn your family’s life around, the destiny of your children and even redeem your family line,” says the Lord. “For I am your Boaz and your kinsman redeemer. And this year, I am looking for a people who would choose the private place again over the stage. I am looking for a people who choose My plans over their own plans. I am looking for a people who choose My ways over their own ways. I am looking for a people who would sacrifice comfort and what they think makes sense, just to be obedient to the instructions I give them. For I am raising up a Waymaker people. I am raising up a Joshua people who will be Waymakers in the desert in this hour. For I need, I need a people who see differently, and you will only see differently when you linger. You will only see differently when you come into My presence and lay everything down.” “Lay it down, lay it down, lay it down,” says the Lord. “Where are you, Joshua? Where are you, Caleb? Where are My Waymakers? For you would say, ‘But I need to know the way! I need to know the way! I’m lost, Lord!’ But I say to you today, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. And it is time to fully come back to Me. For in this season of battle, it has been easy to take refreshment from other things, but I am restoring you now unto Myself. And in that restoration, you shall find your footing again. You shall find your way again. You shall find the path again. For I am that Way, and you are coming back to the Way. And as you come back to the Way, you shall, in My presence, begin to birth the Way. And you shall be known as My Waymakers in the desert, My Waymakers in a shifting season, shifting My people from the sands of the desert and from the exodus of their religious toxification, and I will lead them into their promise.” “But I need you this year to lay at My feet,” says the Lord. “I need you to lay at My feet,” says the Lord. “Will you linger? Will you linger? Will you linger? Come to Me, My laid-down lovers. Come to Me, My burning ones. Consecrate yourselves unto Me afresh. Let go of everything that has entangled you, everything that has smothered your heart and tried to make it stony and hard, and I will give you a heart of flesh again. I will pour out honey upon the deepest of wounds. I will close up the gaping wounds of trauma from the past where every spirit that has been after you to assassinate you has left infested wounds. I am sealing them up now,” says the Lord. “And I am restoring your heart from the places of Sheol and the death you have been wandering in during this season. For you have lost hope and found despair, and you have laid your mantle in the dust. But as you lay in My presence, you will pick it up again. You will find your language. You will find your unction. You will find your flow. You will find your joy again. Just when the enemy thought he had taken you out for good, I am restoring you. I am restoring you. And I am standing you to your feet with fresh strength, power, and might with a new song and a new sound that shall now bubble up from your belly,” says the Lord. “Waymakers, this week, this year, linger!”
